Question View

I was wondering about the title of
your album New Chautauqua.
Where did it come from? The
reason I ask
is I grew up in Chautauqua Lake
New York. It has a
decent musical history and I was
wondering if it was
linked to that.

Pat’s Answer:

Hi John, My great-grandfather,
Mose Metheny, was in a
Chautauqua troop that traveled
around the Midwest and the South
during the late 1800's. When I first
started touring nonstop my
grandfather said it reminded him
of his dad's work, hence the name
"New Chautauqua".
